International Advisory Council   International Advisory Council members Dame Margaret and Ambassador Rosenthal The International Advisory Council for the UN Intellectual History Project was established in July 1999 and is composed of eleven distinguished individuals from around the world who have a variety of practical and scholarly backgrounds. Those whose advice and leadership bestow enhanced credibility for the project are:   Galal Amin Margaret Joan Anstee Lourdes Arizpe  Eveline Herfkens Enrique Iglesias András Inotai Thandika Mkandawire Gert Rosenthal John G. Ruggie Makoto Taniguchi Ramesh Thakur The first session of the council was held in July 1999 in New York, and provided a crucial input into the finalization of monograph topics and persons to be interviewed as a matter of priority. A second session, in March 2000 in New York, reviewed work in progress, including draft outlines for the first four books commissioned by the co-directors. Subsequent sessions were convened in November 2000 in Geneva and June 2001 in Uppsala to review book proposals and to take stock of the oral history component of the project. A mid-project IAC review session of the project's work to date was held in December 2001 in New York. Future meetings of the council will occur in conjunction with workshops devoted to substantive reviews of book drafts.
